"We will hold a rally we call “Kerry Lied . . . While Good Men Died” on Sunday, September 12, at 2 PM just north of the US Capitol building in the Upper Senate Park. Ten speakers will tell some of the true stories about the virtues of Vietnam veterans and contrast them with the lies told by John Kerry. We will identify those speakers in a few moments. "

Forwarded to everyone in my email address book. Thanks for sharing.
We don't want to step on their reception (I'm sure more than a few of us will attend that, and make a donation to their organization, too), so the DC Chapter is inviting all Freepers and friends (new VVT friends, too) to meet for Sunday brunch before the rally, at a hotel near the rally site. Does this all make sense?
See you Sunday at the rally and/or Saturday evening at VVT reception!
Ker-THUNK!! Whack! Whack! Whack!
(Another shoe drops . . . . . . another nail in Kerry's coffin)
Before this show is over, Kerry will regret that he ever made Vietnam the cornerstone of his candidacy. He has awakened a sleeping giant . . . . . .
And, that's the point. If he makes such a huge miscalculation as a candidate, how much worse would he be as a president? What miscalculations would he or his staff of 20,000 advisors make that would cause harm to the US?
I shudder to think.
A cousin of my husband's served in Viet Nam in the US Army. We have never talked to him about his experiences and feelings because most Nam vets have preferred to keep their feelings to themselves.
However, today, he sent out an email to all in his address book. We have his permission to send his words out to others, through email or otherwise.
This Veteran’s OpinionIt is good to know that Senator John Kerry is a fellow Viet Nam Veteran, a medal winner. It is also interesting to remember that he testified before Congress against that War. He testified that he committed atrocities, witnessed atrocities, and that thousands of American soldiers committed atrocities. I do not find fault with his speaking against the War; that was his right. It is only Mr. Kerry’s last allegation, that thousands committed atrocities, with which I have an issue.
I remember Viet Nam too clearly. I never saw an American soldier commit an atrocity. To the contrary, I saw dead tired GI’s stop, smile, and gladly give their rations to hungry children. I saw American soldiers write home to get clothing for poor families. I saw our medics spend more time healing civilians than they did repairing us. I saw GI’s lay down their lives trying to save a nation under attack.
I also remember coming home clearly. We soldiers were labeled baby-killers, village-burners, dirt -- the lowest form of human excrement. John Kerry was young then; perhaps in his testimony before Congress he was anxious to make a political point. I could forgive young Kerry’s “thousand of atrocities” statement had he since said that maybe he misspoke. Maybe thousands upon thousands of Viet Nam Vets and the 50,000 American soldiers who died in Viet Nam are innocent of his charges. Maybe its time for John Kerry to correct the statements that helped label soldiers baby-killers, village-burners, dirt.
While I respect Senator Kerry’s record as a Naval Officer and appreciate his years in the United States Senate, he is not the kind of man that I could willingly call Mr. President, Commander-in-Chief of our military. Mr. Kerry’s words of thirty years ago hold meaning, deep meaning. Senator Kerry, you cannot verbally spit on a group of people and then expect to court them as a constituency.
see you at the rally. anything planned for saturday?
Bump! - (Like your tagline.)
